To find the derivative of the given function $y = x^{(9e)^{8x}}$, let's break it down step by step.

We have $y = x^{(9e)^{8x}}$, which is an exponential function. We'll use logarithmic differentiation to differentiate this function since both the base and the exponent involve $x$.

Step 1: Take the natural logarithm of both sides

$\ln y = \ln\left(x^{(9e)^{8x}}\right)$ Using the logarithmic property $\ln(a^b) = b \ln(a)$, we get: $\ln y = (9e)^{8x} \ln(x)$

Step 2: Differentiate both sides implicitly

We now differentiate both sides with respect to $x$. Using the chain rule on the left-hand side: $\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ (9e)^{8x} \ln(x) \right]$ Now we need to differentiate the right-hand side, which involves the product of two functions, $(9e)^{8x}$ and $\ln(x)$.

Step 3: Differentiate the product

We'll apply the product rule: $\frac{d}{dx}(uv) = u'v + uv'$, where $u = (9e)^{8x}$ and $v = \ln(x)$.

1. $u = (9e)^{8x}$, so $u' = (9e)^{8x} \cdot 8 \ln(9e)$ (since $\frac{d}{dx} (a^{bx}) = a^{bx} \cdot b \ln(a)$).
2. $v = \ln(x)$, so $v' = \frac{1}{x}$.

Applying the product rule: $\frac{d}{dx} \left[ (9e)^{8x} \ln(x) \right] = (9e)^{8x} \cdot 8 \ln(9e) \cdot \ln(x) + (9e)^{8x} \cdot \frac{1}{x}$

Step 4: Solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$

Now multiply both sides of the equation by $y$ to isolate $\frac{dy}{dx}$: $\frac{dy}{dx} = y \left[ (9e)^{8x} \cdot 8 \ln(9e) \cdot \ln(x) + (9e)^{8x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} \right]$ Since $y = x^{(9e)^{8x}}$, substitute $y$ back into the equation: $\frac{dy}{dx} = x^{(9e)^{8x}} \left[ (9e)^{8x} \cdot 8 \ln(9e) \cdot \ln(x) + (9e)^{8x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} \right]$

This is the derivative of the given function.

Tip: Logarithmic differentiation is especially useful when dealing with functions where both the base and the exponent depend on the variable.
